Scope and content
Has waited this long to thank Beaton for the weekend as she wanted to wait for some news. Has become a patient at Frances Chichester's doctors "out of masochism". Is on a diet, but "the liver is promised a complete rest and restoration". Feels that "virtue is never its own reward". Ivan is in Hollywood and Kate is "much sad". Friedrich arrives on Friday or Saturday to stay several days. Has bought a new "splashing orange" hat. Discusses the advantages of hats. Would love to see Beaton soon "from under my orange hat".
